Bam, the undercoating looks great. Since you wrote that you'll spray it in the interior, do you plan to ALSO use Dynamat, Peel 'n Seal or any other kind of sound deadner as well?

I may have missed it but what prep did you do underneath? Blast/wire wheel to bare metal? Light sand? Or just wash and spray?

Yes I will also use some sound deadner. As far as the prep work all I did was apply over freshly applied epoxy primer. If you already have paint all you have to do is stuff it (lightly sand) and apply.

Oh you don't have to worry about that I neither have the money or the time to rush it.lol I wish I did though.

**Dan in Pasadena** · 09-05-2012, 03:15 PM

12 days and nothing? No activity? C'mon, you gotta be doing something....even if its just working on other guy's stuff to make some cash to do the next thing on yours. BTW, what IS the next thing planned?

hotrod1 · 09-05-2012, 04:44 PM

Yeah, got to tell ya that I cant stop thinking about that Green color that you are going to paint your beast. I saw a camaro the other day with what I perceive as a similar color, and it almost stops my heart. That Greeeeen color that you are going to paint your ride is Just beautiful!

Well I doing a lot but its nothing to write home about. I got the firewall all primed and block and its straight as an arrow and it made me smile for about 2 seconds.lol No really it came out really nice. I'm working a panel at a time literally. I been on the firewall for days, I blocked the dash, and just slowly making my way around the cab.

I hope the green is as nice as you picture it, I'm not so sure. If I don't like it I will sand it down and use it as primer and chose another color.lol Yeah I'm nutty like that.

Once again, no comment. LOL!!
Ok well I gotta ask, when will you know you dont like the color? After you spray the color, or will it have the wheels and tires on it before you can make a decision? Or, last one, will the color make a difference IF you keep the wheel and tire combo? You know I got alot of questions.

Kabwe · 09-06-2012, 07:43 PM

Vdog I will know if its what I wanted as soon as the base coat /clear coat hits the panel.lol Its either a yeah or yuck.lol

Ahh I see. I think its going to be badazz, cause you dont see that combo.
But what do I know. LOL

spousta · 09-12-2012, 01:25 AM

I know how you feel Kabwe, I'm going to bronze plate everything instead of chrome and its going to be a yuck or yeah, important thing is making it your own and not caring how green or how much your sticking out (which I'm sure you know), just wanted to stop by and tell you to keep useing your instincts and keep up the good work, and I love the raptor liner job you did, makes me not want to use the Herculiner I have laying around, and buy the raptor system

HOOKHEAD!! LMAO!!

Have not heard that in years. LOL

Kabwe · 10-01-2012, 03:27 PM

Well, not really much to report other than I mocked up the hydroboost unit and plumbed the brake lines.

The morning dew makes the painted frame a not look good in the pic. But the paint is smooth and nice. I used Kustom Shop's epoxy primer and satin black. It sprayed really nice. But the paint is smooth and nice. I used Kustom Shop's epoxy primer and satin black. It sprayed really nice. So for anyone looking for some Satin black and epoxy primer for their frame this may be the ticket. It really was not expensive and you will have enough left to do your suspension parts also.

OrrieG · 10-01-2012, 03:48 PM

No proportioning valve, 4 wheel discs?

56ClassicTruck · 10-01-2012, 04:04 PM

Of course there is I'm using an adjustable one it's mounted in line towards the rear. I also have the residual valves installed, but you can't see them. Remember just because you don't see it does not mean its not there.lol Its like magic. Well not really.lol
